How much does an 18-inch flow-formed wheel generally weigh?

[GabrielFitz]

An 18-inch flow-formed wheel generally weighs around 20 pounds, but this depends on the specific model. Circumference diameter of an 18-inch wheel: The circumference diameter of an 18-inch wheel is 18 inches, which is 45.72 centimeters. Handling performance: A significant leap in handling performance—larger wheels have a greater contact area than the original wheels, resulting in increased friction and improved handling performance, second only to the effect of changing shock absorbers. They also provide better stability at high speeds. Safety factor: Enhanced safety factor—in the event of a tire blowout, the larger wheel diameter reduces the impact compared to the original wheels, making it easier to correct direction and significantly improving safety. Visual impact: The visual impact of larger wheels is undoubtedly striking. Disadvantages of 18-inch wheels: Poor fuel economy—fuel consumption increases, typically by about 1 liter per 100 kilometers; reduced comfort—thinner tires naturally result in a bumpier ride compared to the original setup; power loss—greater friction leads to a corresponding loss in power.
